I have been thinking lately about the transitory nature of relationships--about how dramatically my social sphere has shifted over the last four years, and how dramatically it will shift in the next four--and I feel a little lonely.
Though I am sure there will be fulfilling relationships in my life, it is unsettling and uncomfortable to recognize that I have no control over them. To some extent, I can make an intentional effort and foster relationships I care about, but there are way too many other factors at play. I probably won't even be living in this country, for one. Kind of a big one.
It also made me feel a bit nostalgic. Even beyond high school, there are friends from freshman, sophomore, even junior year that I never even speak with anymore.
One such person is named Lisa. From my old myspace comments (yea.. i went back and read a bunch) I know we considered each other friends once, but now we are just passing acquaintances.
Well, she is also one of my super-buddy's roommates and tonight we re-bonded over procrastination, boy horror stories, facebook, and pointless giggles. We exchanged numbers (oo la la) and made plans to bake in high heels next semester (Don't ask).
Strange how a funny little interaction can buoy me up. :) yea for a new-old friend!
